Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
a lot of people will say that these things are very complicated but it’s actually pretty simple: this is who the cops are and this is who they will always be
the cops have been indiscriminately killing and brutalizing black people for approximately their entire existence. at a certain point maybe people might want to accept that this is one of their core functions

“How can it be racist if the police are Black?” BECAUSE THE INSTITUTION OF POLICING ITSELF IS RACIST
This is why it never works when people try to deflect from the fact that policing itself is the problem & therefore can not be reformed into a solution
There were Black people who worked on the slave patrols & who were hired to help kidnap Africans too. What is difficult to understand?
Who actually controls the institution of policing? The white elite & the ruling class. Who is most impacted by the violence of policing? Poor people, the working class and Black people. Again, what is not clicking here?
I'm posting this because i havent seen anything about this on tumblr yet.
Memphis police murdered another black man, on Jan 7 2023. His name was Tyre Nichols. Police have not released the body cam footage, but it's apparently really REALLY bad.
Between the murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, and the murder of Forest Defender Tortuguita in Atlanta, things are about to get REALLY hot in the south.
The continuing brutality and extrajudicial execution at the hands of police NEEDS to stop by any means necessary.
Tortuguita's comrades have called for tonight, January 20, 2023, to be a "Night of Rage" to commemmorate, and retaliate, for Tortuguita's murder.
Now is the time to talk to your comrades and those you trust in order to make precautions and contingency plans for each others safety if you have not done so already.
